lincslady Posted October 30, 2022 #27 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I would have thought that the reason for this problem is solely due to Silversea's wording on where you can/cannot smoke. The word cigar should surely have been omitted from the first line . As it appears, it gives the smoker an excuse to smoke cigars where they are obviously not supposed to, according to the last line. I don't smoke, and do not like the smell, but do think the provision of a special lounge for smokers is an excellent idea. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fak Posted November 1, 2022 #28 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Yes, an excellent idea, if rules are enforced. We were forced inside tonight because cigar man was smoking outside the Panorama Lounge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier the lovely combo of his noxious cigar combined with the sewage smell cut our time at the pool short. And then there are the loud Face Timers. 6* cruising at its finest. I'm terribly discouraged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in a lot of our travels we have noticed the loud Face Tiimers are more often then not, semi-deaf loud talking Grammy and Grampy FaceTiming with the even louder screaming and squealing grandkids back home on the other end of the call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it gets too annoying you can always go and stand just behind their shoulder looking eagerly at their phone as if to join in - after all, their call must be public, given how many people around can hear it. OK, full disclosure - that is what I'd like to do but don't. But if it's really bad, I sometimes get a bit close and look steadily at them. They don't like it but it doesn't achieve anything, these rude people feel entirely entitled to disturb everyone around them, but at least I feel I've made a small protest. And just occasionally, they move somewhere else. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare highplanesdrifters Posted November 1, 2022 #34 Share Posted November 1, 2022 He is not a bearded American. @kimanjo @Silver Spectre If it weren't really annoying it would be comical. Outside the Panorama was lovely last night. Beautiful sunset, nice temperature, gentle breeze, cold cocktails. Then the noxious fumes overcame us. We went inside only to be audibly assaulted by the Face Timers, AND now the noxious fumes from the cigar smoker filled Panorama through the door. 🤯🤯🤯 Being a small ship, there are very few options. Very hot by the pool bar and no sunset view. The sewage smell seems to be worse there and cigar man camps out there most of the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you discussed this with the HD and requested that cigar man is detained in the connoisseurs corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, we have had several discussions and are told "they are working on a solution ". Here's my solution: Never sail on Wind again, and perhaps Silversea altogether. I really don't enjoy the activity of interacting with the HD & CD just to set things right. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wind, and actually a couple of the older ships in the fleet, have very small areas outside the Panorama Lounge which doesn’t help matters. The newer bigger ships not only have much larger outdoor seating they always have an outdoor space available directly from the Connoisseurs Lounge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has been known to go and visit those extra loud people and tell them exactly how she feels about their behaviour. She will then tell them exactly what to do with their phone. It usually works well. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare spinnaker2 Posted November 2, 2022 #48 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) I am reading this thread and I can’t fathom why and how a single cigar smoking person is holding the ship hostage with fumes. Is the HD so impotent that they can not get this offensive behavior stopped, or is the cigar person too powerful in the Silversea hierarchy? It really boggles the mind.

fizook Posted November 2, 2022 Author #49 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Today we will cancel our Wind cruise for next May. We can't take a chance that these issues will not be fixed by then. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaFej Posted November 3, 2022 #50 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I'm starting to understand why our upcoming sailing in December on the Wind was priced so that folks like me can actually afford it. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Sigh. I'm adding Vicks Vap-o-Rub to the packing list. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
